Anecdotally i’ve noticed myself saying things like “what’s with the phlegm?” or “what’s with my sinuses”? , It’s most likely VG. My current theory is that smokers who switch immediately feel SO GOOD right away, that months and years pass before we notice maybe our phlegm feels “off”. This is the nitty gritty. Switching from smoking to vaping is still the best possible option anyone should choose.
